MAGA keeps saying the war in Ukraine needs to end, and I agree, but I never hear them say the easiest way for it to end - which is Putin stopping his war of aggression, which he can easily do anytime he wants. No, according to them, the US and Ukraine is to blame for the war.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
